After graduating at the University of Maastricht with a Bachelor in International Business Economics in 2016, I did a gap year to gain some practical insights in the field of Finance. I am currently pursuing my Master degree in International Management/Cems in Rotterdam with the University of Sydney as my exchange destination.
Building on my academic and and first professional experiences abroad I am thriving for an international career and I am eager to work in a multi-cultural environment. I believe that the CEMS programme will prepare me for this, not only due to the globally universal business models thought but also due to the very international setting of CEMS, which will help me to further improve my intercultural communication skills and show me how to take advantage of diversity when working with people from different cultural backgrounds.
In cooperation with the Johanniter, an NGO with medical duties similar to the Red Cross, I was helping to raise funds and recruit active and passive members for this organization. This job helped me develop communication and negotiation skills, as I needed to persuade people to donate for a good cause.
